From the post:

>The Park County Sheriff’s Office dealt with an unusual non-rescue after an aircraft landed upside-down on a mountain west of Cody. Around 9:30 a.m. Friday, the Park County Communications Center received a notification from the United States Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (USAFRCC) about a crashed aircraft. The aircraft’s Emergency Location Transmitter (ELT) had been automatically activated near Sheep Mountain, just outside Cody. Deputies with the Park County Sheriff’s Office immediately mobilized to respond until they received another notification. The USAFRCC managed to contact the pilot, who was a little topsy-turvy but otherwise fine and didn’t need a rescue.

>an aircraft landed upside-down

The stupidity is astounding.

Could you imagine the damage if that had actually happened? Taildraggers can tip/flip over if you hold the rear wheel too high in rough terrain.
